Looking For Winter

The skiff of snow we had for winter quickly disappeared and we were left with unseasonably warm weather. It didn't feel much like winter, so we had to go looking for it. After several requests, our first stop was at the ice rink. The romanticized version floating around in our heads was much better than the sore feet, cold fingers and whining that went on. I think we'll get a few years under our belts before we try it again.Our next destination was Burley (and getting there proved to be quite an adventure with my car.) Although there were some pretty cute monkeys compliments of Grandma, we didn't find any snow, but we did find fun.Finally we found some snow in Island Park. It was thrown, sledded down, snowshoed over, and eaten. And boy, did we enjoy it!
When it was all said and done, I think the kids enjoyed their time with family as much as the white stuff.
